Women’s Weekly overdoses on the Royals

The September edition of the Weekly has a 25 page feature on the young royals with a heavily made-up Kate on the front cover.  They’re obviously selling but the content doesn’t gel especially as the main article,”Why it’s hip to be royal” is clearly intended for British readers. Why would the AWW print in an article by Katie Nicholl, Royal Editor for the Mail on Sunday,an English newspaper, including upfront, “The British monarchy has never been cooler and that’s official….. There’s no need to whisper – it has never been more hip to fly the flag for the monarchy….”? Not at all hip for us, of course, in spite of brief comments from a few local supporters, including Tony Abbott, added as an afterthought. WfaAR notes that all went to print before shots of Prince Harry sans clothes in Las Vegas and the Duchess of Cambridge likewise in France hit the media.
